I've only been involved with 1300 Alfa ( a little) and 1500 Ford ( a lot!)
The Ford, without doubt is tough, and will offer the best bang per buck.
Climax engines are light in weight, and new/modern ones perform well, but not robust like the Ford, also expensive, and some I've seen are hot rod engines, so difficult to maintain.
If the numbers suggested to me a few years ago about Porsche were true, forget it. Elva were based very close to my home, in Sussex, I wasn't aware they ever used anything other than CC or For, from the factory.
